Matthew, my grandfather, passed away on 28 July after a sudden heart attack. He was 76 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $4,050 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 August.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Matthew to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $2,200
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $1,300
• Transport of the deceased: $290
• Memorial gathering for the family: $260
Thanks for reading all this.

So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Rachel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 15 people at work. Greetings from Brisbane.
Thanks for sharing this, Rachel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Jose.
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Rooting for you, Rachel. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. Thinking of Yonkers
